the two notify types aren't statuses, they're events. The others are statuses the entry into which are added to the event log as events.

alert_notify obviously only happens when a device enters the fail state, and then every 24 hours after. recover_notify happens when a device enters the ok state from a fail state.

We have a vague scheme for what the colours me :

Blue : ok

Green : ok but ignored (in some places, green is used to mean "ok" too, but this might be confusing)

Orange : fail but delayed (elsewhere in the UI it means "down because a parent is down" like if a vlan is down because a port is down)

Purple : fail but alerting is suppressed (a mix of red and blue, meaning it's down, but you've told observium there is nothing to see here)

Red: Fail

To be totally sure what these mean, you sometimes have to look at the code. :D

There is the legend on the Overview/front page but it would
definitely be nice to have that info on the other pages as well.
As a tooltip, it wouldn't disturb the current page layout.
